    I think combining tour A+ and after CCNA was the best path but if you dont have practice labs it is only 50% of knowledge at least you need practice labs and hands on labs. Well done for your hard work and skills you gained i wish you a great career in IT 🙏🙂

    Could IT support be the path towards a database administrator role in the same company ?

    • @EastCharmer
      @EastCharmer  Рік тому

      Hhhmmm tbh it is not. IT Support doesn't do database work directly. IT Support will be the path to Network/Systems administration, automation, cybersecurity. But if you find a company that has in house database team, then you can probably get exposed to more database work. I hope this helps!

    Hi, I really enjoy watching your videos. I am a receptionist for a international law firm and I am looking for a career change in IT support specialist role.
    Is it really hard to get into a entry level IT SUPPORT role with just a qualification such as Google IT tech? I don’t have any practical experience.

      yes I agree with @amarildinio. If you want to get into IT, the job postings will most likely look for experience and certifications. degrees are not really required for IT but some jobs might prefer it but I've met a lot of people with no degree in IT or has a different background that are really good in what they're doing now.

      @@syeduddin3879 you're welcome! That's great! that's a good fundamental certification to have.
